Victoria’s health department has urged consumers to dispose of 1kg packets of Nanna’s Frozen Mixed Berry, which are sold in major supermarkets including Woolworths, Coles and IGA stores.
Nanna’s Frozen Mixed Berry 1kg packets shouldn’t be eaten if they have a best before date up to and including November 22, 2016.
Four adults, three in Victoria and one in NSW, have contracted potentially deadly Hepatitis A after consuming the imported fruit.
The health department has also told the company to recall the product, which is distributed by Patties in Victoria, but packed in China.
It contains strawberries, raspberries and blackberries from China and blueberries from Chile.
Hepatitis A is spread when traces of faecal matter containing the virus comes in contact with hands, water or food, and then enters a person’s mouth.
